Medications must be in their original containers. Using a marker, cross out the patient’s name on prescription drug labels, but leave the name of the medication visible. Do not bring sharps or medical waste. Outdated and unused medications pose a danger in the home, and when improperly discarded, contaminate our environment with a dangerous blend of chemicals.

This event is organized by the CT Valley Hospital and The Metropolitan District. Funding of the collection is partial settlement of a Consent Order issued against CT Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services by the CT DEP.
